Vijay Sai - Poverty

Swarms of ants
Spotted dead
Starving for food
Stocked grains
Stored in ant hills
Stolen overnight
Starving humans
Stealing grains
Survival a question
So pathetic to read
Shell shocked
I shout aloud
Oh God! I beg
Stop these sufferings
Save these innocents!



*Based on an article on 'West africa starvation' in http: //www.guardian.co.uk/......dt 22 jun 2010....which says these words......Starving people in drought-stricken west Africa are being forced to eat leaves and collect grain from ant hills, say aid agencies, warning that 10 million people face starvation across the region.....
